We go down into the subterranean state-room and sit on the screw-pin chairs, while the ship does the slide-and-slope trot under us, and we drink a couple of cups of coffee-and-milk, and eat a piece of bread and butter.

After reading this well written, quotable, but uneventful travelogue by D.H. Lawrence, I find myself wondering why British people travel. Here is Lawrence, 60 years before Paul Theroux (who I thought held the tittle of "Crankiest Travel Writer"), setting out on a whirlwind tour of Sardinia, and comp
Sea and Sardinia is a record of a trip D. H. Lawrence took with his wife Frieda in 1921. The central character is Lawrence himself—a cranky but deeply intelligent observer of people and place. The book puts you right there—in an ancient bus lumbering through the bleak Sardinian countryside; at a fai

3,5 stars- English paperback

One doesn't think of him as such, but D.H. Lawrence is a natural-born travel writer. His Sea and Sardinia is a joy throughout. It starts slow as he works his way north to the interior of the island via third-class rail with his wife Frieda (whom he refers to as Queen Bee or, more frequently, q-b). T
I really really liked this book! As a Sardinian I enjoyed to read the (accurate) descriptions of the places I know, it's been very interesting to read how Lawrence portrayed the city where I live.
In particular, I liked the way he described those aspects of ordinary life typical of a Sardinia which
I read this after having visited Italy several times, studied the language for years, and spent two months travelling around Sardinia this summer. The book was interesting for seeing how much some things have changed since a century ago and, even more, how little others have. The public transport is
I am a great fan of Corsica, but I have never visited its close neighbour Sardinia, so it was with great interest that I lighted on D.H. Lawrence's account of his visit a few years after World War I. I was a bit disappointed. I wasn't expecting a conventional travelogue, but in fact Lawrence and Fri
